This is a small place, and the figures below carry wide margins.
The American Community Survey reaches Prairieton through a sample, not a count, and in a place this size that sample is thin. The population estimate here is 475 with a margin of error of plus or minus 282, which is 59.4 percent of the estimate itself. Every figure whose margin reaches 20 percent is printed with that margin beside it, so you can see the width of each one rather than having to assume it.
Nothing has been removed or adjusted. These are the published federal estimates, shown with the uncertainty the Census publishes alongside them.

Vigo County, not Prairieton
Vigo County context, not Prairieton figures
These are Vigo County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Prairieton measurements.
- Establishments in Vigo County2,473
- Employment at those establishments, Vigo County41,318
- Covered employment, Vigo County46,144
- Average annual pay, Vigo County$53,152
- Average weekly wage, Vigo County$1,022
- Housing units permitted, Vigo County98

- County product, 2024, Vigo County$6,570,535,000
- County product change over the prior year, Vigo County5.4 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Vigo County$47,634
Every figure in this section is published for Vigo County as a whole and is not a measurement of Prairieton. It is here because a county backdrop is what a credit committee reads a place against, and it is labelled so that it can never be quoted as the place's own.

Coverage
What this page does not hold.
Every item below could be filled with a plausible figure. None of them is. On a page a lender may read, a number that cannot be traced is worse than an absence, so the absences are named.
- No SBA approvals are recorded to a borrower address in this place in either FOIA release.
- This place is not listed as a community in the FEMA Community Status Book, so no NFIP participation or CRS class is shown.
- The American Community Survey does not publish a median household income for this place, which happens where the sample is too small to support one.
- No median gross rent is published for this place.
- Parcel level detail, zoning and flood zone at an address are resolved in the platform, not on this page.
SBA figures count approvals to borrowers whose address is in the place. They are not approvals for projects inside the place boundary: the tape records a borrower city and a project county, and those can differ.

Are the county figures on this page Prairieton figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Vigo County as a whole and there is no place level equivalent. They appear in one clearly marked section as context and are never presented as measurements of Prairieton.
Is zoning published for Prairieton?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
